What an incredible time at #EMBOMobileGenome last week! 🧬
A huge thank you to everyone who made it such a success – our speakers for their inspiring talks and thought-provoking discussions, our participants for their enthusiasm and engagement, and our team for their hard work behind the scenes 🙏🏼
This paper coming out today is a beautiful way for me to close up the #EMBOmobilegenome in Heidelberg. Great crowd, great talks, great things ahead! Shoutout to the organizers for putting this together 👏
That’s a wrap on an inspiring #EMBOMobileGenome conference! 🧬
A huge thank you to all speakers, participants, and organisers for making it such a success!
🎉 Congratulations to our poster prize winners – your outstanding work truly stood out! 👏
Until next time!
Enjoyed three days at #EMBOMobileGenome —fantastic talks and inspiring discussions on TE regulation across diverse model systems, great community! Excited to share our recent work on solo LTR silencing in S. pombe via talk and poster by @vishnuss.bsky.social. @pombase.bsky.social @embo.org
Always a joy to join #EMBOMobileGenome -A week full of cool nature’s quirks and science along the friendliest crowd 🧬 Happy to have shared our work on ERVs in human brain evolution (talk by @jakobssonlab.bsky.social) and Parkinson’s disease (poster by yours truly) 🧠

The transposon community is going very strong. see you all again in 2027!!
Impressive study and great talk at #EMBOMobileGenome! Enjoyed it a lot!
📜📊 Last poster session of 'The mobile genome' conference! Great energy up on the ATC helix – fantastic chats, engagement, and ideas all around. Time to cast our votes soon! 🗳️ #EMBOMobileGenome
#EMBOMobileGenome Session 4: Physiological impact 🧬 chaired by Josefa González
➡️ 'Transposon-mediated evolution of human immune gene regulation' AKA Stranger Genes 👁️🔦

Welcome to Day 3 of #EMBOMobileGenome 🙌🏼
While this morning's session is already underway, here's a few snaps from yesterday's 🔸last minute breakthrough talk 🔸
➡️ 'Transposable element co-option drives transcription factor neofunctionalization' presented by Olga Rosspopoff (EPFL, Switzerland)
Having a lot of fun at #EMBOMobileGenome 😃
Perfect timing for our paper from the lab of @toddmacfarlan.bsky.social to be out @natcomms.nature.com!!
…and I’m currently on the job market looking for a new scientific home!

Had an absolute blast presenting my “Last Minute Breakthrough talk” at #EMBOmobilegenome today! 🔥 What an incredible crowd, the energy in the room was unreal. Huge thanks to the organizers for selecting me and to everyone who came, asked questions, and made it such a fun session! 🙌
Another glimpse into Session 2 on transposon regulation at #EMBOMobileGenome earlier today.🧬
➡️'Germline adenine methylation protects the zygotic genome from DNA loss' presented by Mariusz Nowacki (University of Bern, Switzerland)
'The mobile genome' poster session in full swing! Fantastic science, inspiring conversations, and lots of curiosity in the air 🧬💬 #EMBOMobileGenome
Today Alejandro Fuentes-Iglesias, postdoc of the @epiageing-lab.bsky.social is presenting his work on TE regulation and epitranscriptomics at the #EMBOMobileGenome! Come and check out his exciting results! @cimususc.bsky.social
#EMBOMobileGenome Session 2 on transposon regulation 🧬
➡️'Epigenetic control of transcribed retroelements by the HUSH complex and associated factors' presented by Christopher Douse (Lund University, Sweden)
We love a good Q&A session as well! 🙋🏼

great to be at the #EMBOMobileGenome meeting in Heidelberg with a wonderful bunch of colleagues, speakers and attendees.
this meeting is a good reflection of the excitement and collegiality in the transposon field.
kindly sponsored by @embo.org
First day at #EMBOMobileGenome
So many great talks! Toby’s on fungal genome evolution was a highlight: exciting results and inspiring questions ahead
☕ Coffee break time at #EMBOMobileGenome!
Inspiring talks, lively discussions, and plenty of caffeine to keep the ideas flowing. The sun’s out, the conversations are buzzing, and tonight we’ll keep the networking going with rooftop lounge drinks 🍂🍁
Looking forward to an exciting week ahead! 🧬
⭐ Today's #EMBOMobileGenome programme kicked off with a keynote lecture presented by Orsolya Barabas:
➡️ 'Mechanistic underpinnings of conjugative
transposition of antibiotic resistance'
We're all here until Friday, with lots of interesting talks, poster session, and a fun social programme ahead!
Welcome everyone! #EMBOMobileGenome
